I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

Christmas is coming and ...

... I'm on vacation until January, but the next few days will be tying up some loose ends from work, catching up on a few things (work related) that I haven't had a chance to get to recently and then the rest of the holidays are mine ... all mine!! So I plan to get back to some pet projects that have been languishing for the past few months, finish some reading and maybe, just maybe, finish a paper I've been working on for a while.
